5. How can sustainable science principles and methods improve a business'sstrategic advantage? (Again, can you sell me on sustainability?)

6. What role does science play in bringing about business sustainability?

7. Is sustainability alone, enough? That is, if you are making a business more sustainable, do you think it is likely that you would find yourself eventually making other changes, such as making sure the business is more responsive to taking care of employee needs, such as for competitive wages, adequate retirement and medical insurance coverage, etc.? Will partnerships with other sustainable businesses be based on strong ethics and a commitment to business dealings which are fair to all parties? In other words, will a shift to sustainability also be accompanied by a shift in other values?
